Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 115 ATP Rankings Rise, Power Returns to Us (Please Subscribe)

After emerging from the reporters' throng, Jiang Hong took out five balls and signed his name on them!
boom!
boom!
boom!
He hit one ball in each direction of the audience in the stands, and then aimed at the location of his fan club on the forum before serving the last ball!

As is customary, I took photos with fellow fans. There were quite a few fans who came to watch the game spontaneously!
Seeing Jiang Hong taking photos with people at the entrance of the stadium, he immediately rushed over!
Jiang Hong could only have Wu Qiang take a group photo with everyone.

Although some people wanted to take individual photos, Jiang Hong refused.

It wasn't that Jiang Hong was being arrogant; it was just that there were simply too many people. If he were to take photos with each one individually, he wouldn't be able to participate in tomorrow's competition!

"Excuse me, it's getting late. Everyone should go back and get some rest. I need to prepare for tomorrow's match!"

After Jiang Hong's explanation, most people expressed their understanding!

Although a few people insisted on taking a photo with Jiang Hong, they were immediately chased away by Jiang Hong's support group!

Back at the hotel, Jiang Hong took a shower!

Then I turned on my computer to check the ratings from other users!

Before he could even post, a rating thread had already appeared!

Jiang Hong [Attached: Jiang Hong hitting the ball]

"How dare you address Brother Jiang by his full name! You will be punished by the gods, Man Hun!"

"A desperate counterattack, impressive!"

"8 points! You didn't listen to my boasting!"

"10 stars, that's so cool! I was there, and when Jiang Hong won the match, I felt my blood boiling!"

"Master Jing..."

Marin Cilic [Attached: Powerful Serve Image]

"They're really strong; they're putting a lot of pressure on Xiao Jiang!"

"That serve was terrifying!"

"Just a defeated opponent of Xiao Jiang..."

After browsing the forum, Jiang Hong relaxed for a while, and then took a bath with incense.

"Open it for me!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 10x Training Boost Card for 10 days.]

Jiang Hong glanced at it, then put it away.

It's a good thing, at least it can make his training twice as effective!
However, this can only be used after the Beijing leg of the competition ends!

Jiang Hong then opened the ATP website. After entering the semifinals, he could get 75 points, bringing his total points to 187.

Now, they can finally get rid of this embarrassing ATP ranking of 250.

"220nd!"

After this match, Jiang Hong's ATPP ranking rose to 220!
If we make it to the finals...

Jiang Hong shook his head, banishing the distracting thoughts from his mind.

After the match, Jiang Hong was exhausted. He covered himself with the blanket and fell asleep on the pillow, then lost consciousness!

……

By midnight, news articles about Jiang Hong's match were already flying all over the internet!

Most of the comments praised Jiang Hong's performance, but some tabloids deliberately criticized him to gain traffic.

CCTV's report instantly dominated the headlines of sports news on various portal websites!
Trailing in the score and facing certain death, a thunderous roar and the support of millions turned the tide!

This report summarized Jiang Hong's post-match interview, affirming her willpower, not only for her comeback against all odds but also for her brilliant and beautiful performance!

Throughout the match, Jiang Hong's first serve success rate reached an astonishing 96%, and his first serve point percentage reached 87%. Jiang Hong's statistics completely outclassed his opponent Marin Cilic!
Jiang Hong's running statistics also far exceed those of Cilic!

This indicates that Jiang Hong's tennis skills and physical attributes have reached the level of the ATP top 200.

As long as Jiang Hong stays healthy, his future is limitless!
However, viewers weren't paying much attention to Jiang Hong and Cilic's stats! Instead, they noticed that Jiang Hong said the audience lent him their power and started making jokes about it.

"Xiao Jiang, you can't be like Ultraman Tiga, borrowing our light and not returning it, leaving my future in utter darkness!"

"That's right, if you borrow and return, it's easy to borrow again. Otherwise... Xiao Jiang's future achievements will be partly due to my contribution!"

"At most one in tens of thousands, it's not like you alone lent Xiao Jiang your power!"

"I told her that after the game I would go and find a partner to play with, but she complained that I was too weak and could never pressure the opponent's position. Instead, I got beaten badly!"

"Wait, upstairs, are you talking about real tennis?"

The comments section immediately went off-topic.

However, everyone also remembered Jiang Hong's match time.

……

9 month 15 day.

The semi-final kicked off on time at the center court!
However, the matches of second seed Gonzalez and fourth seed Ljubicic started first.

Under normal circumstances, high-level, high-profile matches would typically be played later in the game.

But who made Jiang Hong, this "bug," appear? Nearly half of the nearly 10,000 audience members came specifically for Jiang Hong!

The organizing committee originally intended to lose money by hosting the China Open, but the main purpose was to expand its international influence and reputation!
However, to everyone's surprise, the tickets for the semi-finals were sold out immediately.

There were even quite a few scalpers reselling tickets at the entrance!

This left the organizing committee somewhat dumbfounded. When did tennis become so popular in mainland China?

He expressed his protest in his heart against the fact that he helped the China Open recover its losses, but the organizing committee refused to pay him an appearance fee.

The match between Ljubicic and Gonzalez was very intense.

The two sides had met seven times previously, with Ljubicic holding a 4-0 advantage.

Both players expended considerable energy in the quarterfinals, playing three full sets each.

Ljubicic eliminated defending champion Baghdatis, who in turn eliminated current Asian number one Lee Hyung-taek!

In the first set, there were no break points in the first four games.

Gonzalez's serves faltered in the 6th and 8th games, giving away two service games and being swept 6-2. The first set only took 25 minutes!

In the second set, Ljubicic played with even more intensity.

After holding serve, Gonzalez surprisingly scored a love game in his service game!
However, Ljubicic then made mistakes, both in his timing at the net and in receiving serves, which allowed Ljubicic to seize the opportunity and win the set.

González has the lead, and the two sides are still locked in a tight battle.

Go Ljubicic!

Suddenly, someone from Jiang Hong's support group shouted.

The person next to them immediately looked at the other person.

I had some doubts in my mind. Could there be a traitor among us?
The other party quickly explained, "Ljubicic's ranking is relatively low. If he makes it to the finals, Xiao Jiang has a better chance of winning the championship!"

Everyone's lips twitched; Xiao Jiang's competition hadn't even started yet.

However, it was clear that his encouragement was in vain, and Gonzalez ultimately secured the first ticket to the final!
He shook his head at his failed attempt to cheer on his team, quickly regained his composure, and then spoke in a serious tone.

"I'm just a jinx, I'm just waiting for Xiao Jiang to make his debut!"

After the post-match interviews and a series of other tasks were completed.

A voice suddenly rang out!
"Look, Xiao Jiang is out!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned towards the field.
